Are you interested in becoming an escort/pilot car for oversize/super loads traveling either locally, regionally or even nationally---throughout the United States and even into Mexico and Canada? If so, read on.....
There are numerous escort/pilot car services throughout the country. You just need to find the one with which you feel most comfortable. Like all companies , things are handled differently.
Some own their own cars and hire drivers on as employees.
Others act as "brokers" and will take a small percentage of your vehicle's earnings to
dispatch you and bill for your services.
OK, so if you have decided that you would really like to be a driver of an escort/pilot car, review the following for more information.
As an employee, you will need to contact the company and determine if it is presently hiring
drivers for escort/pilot cars. Some of the information you may want to ask is:
Where will you be traveling---locally, regionally, nationally?
How often will you get home?
What position will you be assigned---front, chase, steer, pole, etc?
How will you be paid----per mile, per load, weekly flat fee, every two weeks, etc?
Location of the pilot/escort car certification, course, as well as who will assume
responsibility for payment of the course.
Setting up your vehicle according to each state's guidelines and procedures.
What are the perks of being an employee---vacation, 401 K plan, retirement, health
care, etc?
As an independent contractor, you will need to be responsible for everything related to
becoming an escort/pilot car driver.---such as:
Getting your certification
Setting your vehicle up according to each individual state's guidelines.
Getting connected to either a broker or call each individual company to get on a
vendor list.
